<p>Now that you’ve purchased shapewear, the next question is… how to wash shapewear? We got #ShapewearCare tips for you that will help extend the effectiveness and lifespan of your <a href="https://shapermint.com/collections/shapewear">shapewear</a>.</p>
<h2>How to wear your shapewear?</h2>
<ul>
<li>If you’re one of our Everyday Shapewear Girls, we recommend owning THREE of whatever shapewear you choose: one to wear, one to wash, and one to spare.</li>
<li>Shapewear is STILL underwear, even if you’re wearing it over your panties/bras. It has direct contact with your skin! So try not to wear your shapewear more than twice before you wash it.</li>
<li>Who doesn’t love matching underwear sets? If you do, make sure you have a minimum of two matching body-shaping panties/shorts and tops/bras. You never know when date night might hit. 😉</li>
</ul>

<h2>How to wash your shapewear?</h2>
<h3 class="h4">How to hand wash shapewear:</h3>
<ul>
<li>1. Use cold or warm water - hot water can damage your shapewear’s fabric.</li>
<li>2. Use mild detergent - as much as possible, avoid using bleach and fabric softener.</li>
<li>3. Be gentle - avoid scrubbing too hard. Friction can damage the fabric and affect elasticity.</li>
<li>4. Air Dry - too much heat can permanently damage the fabric’s elasticity.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Beautiful with or without shapewear – it’s your choice!</h2>
<p>5+ million women who power the Shapermint movement see <a href="https://shapermint.com/collections/shapewear">shapewear</a> as an accessory to boost and flaunt and not something to be ashamed of (think of makeup - it’s the same thing, but for our bodies!).</p>
<p>Plus-size blogger <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B64c7JylFjP/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@xoxokaymo</a> from Atlanta, says “<em style="font-style: italic;">Shapewear is similar to wearing makeup. You DON’T need it to be beautiful (you are beautiful without it), it’s just nice to have on.</em>”</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0021/4889/2732/files/xoxokaymo.jpg?v=1642203966" alt="Xoxokaymo plus-size blogger" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="499" height="377"></p>
<h2>Our code: Shapermint Gals fix each other’s crowns</h2>
<p>Remember the <a href="https://shapermint.com/blogs/news/feel-empowered-everyday-with-the-shapewear-code" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shapermint code?</a> Number three states the importance of “we who wear shapewear lift each other up and take care of each other. Now, we appreciate the importance of that sentiment more than ever.</p>
<p>That’s why we loved this post by fashion blogger and Shapermint partner Amie Bartley (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ST0ZiAJkK/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@Gucciandglam</a>) who says “<em style="font-style: italic;">I am lucky to be surrounded by so many beautiful, strong, kind, loyal women I get to call friends and family who have helped shape me into the woman I am today!</em>”</p>
